Tayquon Young, a Bronx resident, suffered a brutal machete attack when he attempted to defend his dog from an aggressive owner. As the man threatened to behead Young's dog, he aimed to intervene, resulting in the amputation of four fingers. Doctors managed to reattach three fingers after a lengthy surgery. Young's mother called for serious action from authorities, highlighting a troubling trend of violent encounters in the city and pleading for the attacker to receive help. Young expressed disbelief over the lack of assistance from bystanders during his traumatic ordeal.
There is a maniac running around with a machete cutting up people's hands. I hope the city finds this man and gets him the help that he needs.
I was on the phone with my wife, and his dog came up on my dog... His dog didn't have a leash, my dog was next to me.
I put my hand out to grab the sword, and he just cut my hand off... No one tried to help me.
The machete was about 30 inches, over two feet.
